This suggests that restricted by world’s major companies in domestic market, Huawei stepped into international markets, while first entering developing countries had achieved success as people in those countries experienced the same level of expenditure as China did.
2) Sideward-Crawl Crab Strategy
What is Sideward-Crawl Crab Strategy?
Sideward-Crawl Crab Strategy means encircling cities from the countryside, while the special strategy was used by the Chinese army defended the emery to protect their homeland used the strategy. It was firstly mentioned by the prime chairman Zedong Mao which during the war against Japan’s Aggression in the 1940s.
Huawei company learnt this special stagey in a business way, and Mr. Ren Zhengfei, a former People’s Liberation Army (PLA) officer, when they launched C&C digital telephone switch, Mr. Ren’s strategy in order to step into China’s domestic market which was dominated by foreign MNEs, followed the Chinese strategy “encircling cities from countryside”, as the former chairman Zedong Mao said, which is significantly efficient(Low, 2007).
Huawei stepped into the international market for the start of the long journey, and
There are many opportunities available for companies willing to venture into new, international markets. Reaching more customers and therefore, turning a larger profit are two fairly obvious reasons for companies to consider global expansion. However, the potential benefits do no end there.

If a business doesn’t have a mission nor vision then it will show that the business doesn’t have direction. When hiring locals Huawei should train them because unskilled workers could cost a business. If they don’t add any features in their products when it comes to Brand extension, then customers will be bored of the same old product. Not using different segments would lead the business to failure. Target market also can be a problem to Huawei because the products that they produce are only for people who are technological advanced

We have selected Huawei Technologies Company Limited for our MIS project. We selected Huawei Technologies Company Limited because this is a Chinese company .At first we selected Citycell (Telecom Operator), but when we visited City cell we learnt that City-cell is now using Huawei product, and Huawei is a Chinese company. We know about the quality of Chinese product. Most of the Chinese product can not make people happy or satisfied. But we found that Huawei now is one of the top positions in the world.

Due to the large size of the Chinese cell phone market and its potential for long-term continual growth, competition for access to China’s consumer markets is intense.

In today’s highly globalized world, companies are facing competitive pressure to expand into international markets. These markets offer immense opportunity, but they come with challenges and they require companies to develop new skills and abilities in order to success overseas.

Huawei also has weak professional services and lacked verified solutions, to strengthen on the cloud services business; it extended partnership (Bloomberg, 2014) with Accenture in 2014 to strengthen the cloud services. However, Cloud transformation in telco domain has just started to pick-up and it remains to be seen, which of these three giants (Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson-Cisco alliance, and Huawei) will excel with their M&A and
Huawei is produced in China and is distributed and sold in Europe, India, Africa and the US and UK. Their products being produced in one country and distributed to other creates a geographical space gap between the manufacturer and the consumer.
